Electric Vehicle Manufacturers are responsible for the lawful disposal of batteries once they are no longer fit for purpose on a vehicle, either by recycling or selling into the second life market.
Current UK and European legislation places responsibility on the vehicle manufacturer for appropriate disposal of electric vehicle batteries at the vehicle’s end of life. The only lawful disposal methods are recycling or reusing the battery.
Less than 90% of a Lithium-ion battery can currently be recycled

Extend battery life
Battery Passport constantly looks at the historical data to project what the future life of the battery will be and grades the quality of a battery based on this data providing a clear and simple score on the quality of the battery.
Second-life market
Re-purposing an electric vehicle battery for the second-life market provides additional revenue for the manufacturer. Battery Passport shares data with the second life market enabling this sector to make a more informed buying choice.
Case Study
Electra
Commercial
Vehicles
Electra Commercial Vehicles as a UK manufacturer of fully electric HGV’s were contemplating how to resolve the problem of disposal of the electric vehicle batteries they were putting into vehicles.
The introduction of Battery Passport on their fleet means that they can generate revenue from selling these second-life batteries rather than having to pay for recycling costs.
The recommendations being generated by the Battery Passport system to extend the vehicle life of the battery are being shared by Electra Commercial Vehicles to their customers allowing everyone
to benefit from running the batteries longer.
